15 Best Concealers for 2014

Bags, blemishes, redness and under eye circles aren't your friends. But, face makeup, such as the best concealer that allows you to cover them, is not only your friend, but your closest confidant.

Skip ahead to see why reviewers think these camouflaging makeup products are the 15 best concealers.

To help you find your new secret best friend, we rounded up the highest rated eye concealers and acne concealers, as reviewed by Total Beauty readers. These favorite makeup products go above and beyond to keep your skin looking flawless. But before we "out" the best under eye concealers for brightening dark circles and green concealers for hiding acne or redness, check out these quick tips for natural-looking concealer application:

Makeup artist Patty Bunch says instead of globbing on a ton of concealer for under eye circles, combine a light, moisturizing concealer with your face lotion so it doesn't look so dry and caked on.

For the most natural makeup finish, apply concealer before your foundation. After you hide your pimples, skin discoloration and other blemishes, blend a bit of concealer around the sides of your nose, where even if you don't have broken capillaries, you often get unflattering shadows.

Now, see the 15 best concealers. You won't want to apply foundation without them.

I use this concealer consistently and love it. I have really dark circles under my eyes due to severe allergies. I've tried pretty much all these concealers listed. I love this one! Make sure you use a good primer prior to application and it will last thru the day/night. The only drawback on this one I've found is the extreme price. Last time I bought it at Macy's several months ago it was 72 bucks, BUT luckily it lasts a very long time. I would also recommend that you set the concealer with tarte powder after you use it. This prevents it from feathering and rubbing off. I like Tarte powder because of the quality of their powder and they do not use animals for testing their products. The ONLY other concealer that even comes close to this one is DermaBlend's Quick fix concealer. It works almost just as well and is a third of the price.
